Summer lovin'.......

Summer vegetables are hard to beat. They're great from the local farmer's market - but even better if they're from the back yard!

Home grown --- green beans, yellow squash, zucchini

Local market --- onions, garlic

I even splurged on whole wheat pasta and a "gourmet" parmesan/romano cheese blend; these ingredients are - after all - the best summer has to offer...

The leftovers made a great salad mixed with some warm-off-the-vine Beefsteak Tomato wedges...

Surprisingly, the meat wasn't even missed...
